Streamlining forecasting, planning and management for oil and gas corporations
Optimise PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT process With demand for natural resources increasing worldwide, oil and gas companies must optimise their forecasting and planning processes to ensure they can fulfil market requirements. Detailed reporting on developed and undeveloped oil and gas is essential, as are accurate scheduling and planning. engineering & construction system sales target and demand management decision support tools Actual data Rationalisation Process To enhance medium- to long-term planning and to analyse based on sales targets, profitability and long-term capital requirements oil and gas companies need to improve data accuracy and introduce real-time, dynamic forecasting capabilities. It may also be necessary to change, streamline or integrate key business processes. As one of the world s leading systems integrators with a wealth of experience in the natural resources industry, CSC can help oil and gas companies define their business requirements; align and integrate systems and processes; optimise forecasting and planning processes; and reduce their total cost of ownership. CSC s Developed Management System (DRMS) comprises fully integrated modules to enable end-to-end management of developed oil and gas. Used with CSC s Production Management System (PMS), the DRMS can help identify potential well ; forecast and regulate ; maintain developed ; and manage capital and operating expenditure and reporting. All modules feed information into a data warehouse before accessing the consolidated information, then apply analytics and reporting tools to calculate likely scenarios. The DRMS can be integrated with our PMS to predict future based on existing resources with a high degree of accuracy. We also have a proven service delivery model through which we can gather and analyse information about onsite and offshore requirements. The roll-out is supported by an onsite team to minimise any impact on day-to-day operations. Production Management System CSC s PMS can forecast based on existing resources as well as schedule future projects for the next 100 years, helping oil and gas companies develop precise plans and drilling schedules to meet sales targets and market demands and also helps to optimise and reduce downtime on drilling rigs. The PMS is used to identify and execute viable projects and manage all sites. Staff can analyse demand and supply ( levels) to economically evaluate and select future projects, and make the necessary capital investment. The system promotes zero net loss by considering constrained well depletion and ensuring total forecasted is equal to the resources supplied. The PMS also provides foundation data and reports to support other related business processes. The PMS allows oil and gas corporations to: forecast oil, gas and constrained oil using depletion models prioritise future projects (using undeveloped ) based on economic ranking schedule future projects based on forecasts (if a forecast implies a shortfall) scheduling projects automatically to meet the long term demand after manual scheduling plan for enough capacity to safely meet present and future demand schedule just-in-time drilling of new wells to avoid excessive over-investment. Forecasting The PMS allows users to forecast over a range of periods based on existing resources, and use simulations, models and well-founded estimates to calculate likely. It also makes it possible to recalibrate forecasts based on actual output and new sales targets. An additional extrapolation feature provides the ability to analyse trends in depth. The PMS allows users to forecast to meet monthly sales targets and contractual obligations, while accommodating market dynamics such as changes in well or pricing fluctuations. Users can make faster and more effective decisions that limit the impact of these events on commercial. summary Strategic dashboard reports Production forecast segmented by: Contract Operating area Central Processing Platform (CPP) Contract group reporting finalise project schedule calculate project economics optimise rig UTILISATION identify gaps, shortfall or over- schedule new projects optimisation models: Linear programming model, rate model, convergence model master data management other applications main processes Main features PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT The system forecasts the output needed to meet targets, based on existing resources. It identifies any shortfalls the difference between output and sales targets and ensures the necessary volume of oil or gas needed to meet sales targets is incorporated into future plans. Conversely, the system can rectify over- and address gaps. forecast calculation Future forecasts use the available undeveloped and a scheduling module in PMS schedules the drilling rigs to create a Gantt chart of drilling schedules. This ensures the optimum usage of expensive drilling rigs and reduces idle time. The PMS also enables users to review against targets on a monthly Hydrocarbon Condensate Water Solution gas Free gas Water injected Water disposed basis to help them develop the most effective and drilling plan. The system takes into account data such as actual results, the latest, engineering and construction costs, and the ranking of wells based on output, to develop forecasts and project expenditure reports. 2 Streamlining forecasting, planning and reserves management for oil and gas corporations Streamlining forecasting, planning and reserves management for oil and gas corporations 3
CSC s Production Management System (PMS) PMS Business Flow Market Demand (target) CSC s Production Management System (PMS) offers what if analysis tools that help planners optimise rig utilisation and processes such as hydraulic fracturing. Users can also take advantage of detailed drilling schedules and graphs to improve planning. Robust version control features ensure planners only work on the latest plan and drilling schedule. The PMS also includes a built-in economics tool that analyses the outcome of scenarios based on variables such as output and price to support informed decision making. Revenue and expenses reports for contract-wise/contract group-wise are included. Economic analysis of projects can also be evaluated on different government tax structures. Reporting develop a range of drilling scenarios Users can run a wide range of reports such as daily information and forecasting, project expenditure, or planned maintenance or shutdown activities. Based on these reports, users can adjust to continue to meet commercial requirements; check that expenditure remains within budget; and ensure people and resources are allocated properly. manage versions for each economics analysis case Environmental management This economics tool allows users to: configure price decks connect to the drilling planning system in the PMS to forecast scenarios and predict sales rank unproven using a pseudo rate model rank projects using Net Present Value (NPV) efficiency input projected sales forecasts using a Microsoft Excel interface The PMS has a water injection engine plug-in to help companies minimise the amount of disposed water, reducing the impact on the environment from oil and gas extraction activities. 1.

CSC s Developed Management System (DRMS) PROVEN UNDEVELOPED INFORMATION SAND MASTER DATA petrophysical data The DRMS supports an organisation from the stage of undertaking preliminary drilling and proposing wells based on undeveloped. The organisation can use information fed into the DRMS to develop a business case for developing wells. PERFORATED SAND DATA sand perforation detail decision support tools eur estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) Once the funds are approved, the organisation can capture the information required to drill wells and connect them to reservoirs of oil or gas. Once the well has matured, the organisation can use actual data to calculate and categorise the well accordingly. management SYSTEM forecast Actual data The DRMS also includes features such as reporting and tank tracking, and integration capabilities to incorporate data from external applications and databases. This enables the system to analyse additional factors relevant to an oil or gas drilling project, as required. The DRMS and PMS can be integrated, allowing an organisation to manage and report on projects over their full lifecycle. The process begins when oil and gas companies acquire specific areas for exploration. After extensive scientific analysis, areas with potential are marked for further exploration. Prior to drilling a commercial well, the are identified as undeveloped. The PMS is used to forecast future against demand using data from existing wells.
